SNMP Counter Monitors: Servers

If this monitor's SNMP agent is running on the Administration Server, use this
page to select the servers that you want to monitor.

If this monitor's SNMP agent is running only on individual Managed Servers,
you do not need to select a server from this list. An SNMP agent on a Managed
Server monitors only its host Managed Server. It ignores this list of servers.

If you use an SNMP agent on the Administration Server, when you activate
a monitor on a server, you deploy a JMX listener and
filter to the server. The listener will forward a notification to the
SNMP agent on the Administration Server only if an event matches the
criteria in the monitor.

For example, if you create a counter monitor that observes the
AcceptBacklog attribute of ServerA's Server
MBean, and if you target this counter monitor to ServerB, the counter
monitor on ServerB will never generate a notification, because ServerB does not
have access to the configuration data of ServerA.
